Type 1 Diabetes

Type 1 diabetes, commonly called juvenile diabetes, is caused by an inability of the pancreas to make sufficient insulin to control blood sugars.

Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes, commonly called adult-onset diabetes, is characterized by insulin resistance, which causes elevated blood sugars.

Gestational Diabetes

Defined as elevated blood sugars resulting from pregnancy. During pregnancy, the placenta produces hormones causing insulin resistance, sometimes resulting in diabetes.

Thyroid Nodules & Dysfunction

Thyroid nodules are very common, occurring in up to 40% of adults. They are small lumps that form within the thyroid gland. We offer thyroid biopsies and results are usually received in 10 days.

Thyroid Ultrasound and Biopsy

Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) is a method for biopsy of the thyroid gland. Your doctor will use an ultrasound to help guide the position of the needle for an accurate biopsy.

Bone Density Exams

On the day of the test, x-rays will be taken of the lower spine, hip, & forearm. It is preferable that your bone density should be done on the same machine each year.

There are now several medications on the market for treatment. These include estrogen, bisphosphonates, & the newer drugs Forteo and Prolia.
